Thus!
Tang Si's eyes darted around. She pondered for a moment before pouting her lips. "Alright, I'm begging you. I admit that I can't sweep so much on my own. Please help me."
Even though she was begging, her tone was still arrogant.
Mo Ruo snorted. "How can you beg like this? You should at least speak in a nicer tone. "
"You..."
"It's fine if you don't want to beg me. Just treat what I said earlier as nonsense."
The tactic of loosening the reins only to grasp them was not bad!
He was just about to leave when...
Tang Si cried out. "Alright, alright. I'm begging you, alright? Young Master Mo, I've saved your life after all. You can't just leave me in the lurch! "
Her tone softened.
Satisfied, Mo Ruo nodded.
However, he suddenly realized that he had a pair of fake ears. This stubborn and arrogant woman was actually begging him for help, and in such a nice tone at that. How strange!
He slapped his thigh. "The dignified Miss Tang is begging for help for such a small matter. How surprising!"
"Don't be so smug. I, Tang Si, am flexible. I'm just begging you with my mouth. What's the big deal? You won't go back on your word, will you? I'm begging you. "She was a little anxious.
"I've always been a man of my word. There's no way I can take back what I've said. Besides, it's worth it to have you beg me!"
With that said, he snapped his fingers!
Two guards entered and bowed. "Young Master Mo, what are your orders?"
"The two of you, listen up. You'll continue with Miss Tang's work. Make sure to clean up the place and throw out all the broken tables and chairs. Also, make sure to buy everything that needs to be bought as soon as possible."
The two guards looked at each other.
"Young Master Mo, His Highness said that Miss Tang has to be punished herself."
"Did your Highness say that he wouldn't let anyone help?"
Mo Ruo shook his head. "No."
"Since he didn't, is it a good idea for you to help Miss Tang with this task?"
No!
"Yes."
The two guards wanted to slap themselves the moment they said that word.
How useless!
Tang Si immediately threw the rag on her shoulder to one side, along with the broom. She then dusted her hands elegantly and said to the two guards.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all."
The two men took the broom and the rag and began to work.
At this moment, the academy's apprentice ran in. He took a look and said, "Miss Tang, since you don't need to clean this place, you should go kneel in the Confucian Hall."
"What did you say?" Her eyes widened.
"Didn't Teacher Yu say that after you finish cleaning, you have to kneel in the Confucian Hall for the night?"
F * ck me!
She had actually forgotten about this. She immediately turned to Mo Ruo for help.
Unexpectedly, Mo Ruo shrugged his shoulders. "It has nothing to do with me. I only promised to have someone clean the classroom for you. I didn't say anything about having someone kneel in your place."
"You are despicable!"
"Despicable? Where did these words come from? I made it clear just now. I will clean the classroom, not kneel in your place. " Mo Ruo was very reasonable, but his treacherous eyes curved as he continued, "However, if you continue to beg me, perhaps I can get someone to kneel in your place."
"Nonsense, I won't beg you. You despicable person. Isn't it just kneeling? I'm not afraid. "She turned to the apprentice and said," Let's go. Bring me over. "
Full of vigor!
The apprentice raised his hand. "This way."
He then led her over.
Inside the Confucian Hall.
The ones enshrined were all the sacred ancestors of Confucianism. Every tablet had been scrubbed clean and placed in an orderly manner, with the top and bottom intersecting.
The faint smell of incense and candles assaulted her nose.
The apprentice pointed to the floor. "Miss Tang, you can kneel."
The floor was empty.
"Why isn't there a blanket?" She was puzzled.
The apprentice laughed. "Why would there be a blanket in the Confucian Hall? Teacher and the students usually kneel like this. Does Miss Tang think the floor is dirty? It's alright, the floor was just cleaned not long ago. It's not dirty. "
"I don't think it's dirty!"
"Then …"
She thought her knees hurt!
"Forget it, forget it." She waved her hand. "You may leave."
The apprentice did not move. "Miss Tang, I can only leave after I see you kneel."
Tang Si's expression darkened. She suppressed the fire in her heart and glared at the apprentice.
Then —
She knelt down.
"Are you satisfied?"
Yes!
The apprentice nodded and left.
Tang Si twisted his angry and fierce face, looked at the memorial tablets in front of him that were being worshipped, and muttered, "Truly shameless, what right do you have to make people kneel down for you? They're already dead, yet they're still so overbearing. "
Her body went limp and she sat down on her heels. Then, she looked around in boredom.
Her fingers hooked on the red ribbon on her belt. She spun it, loosened it, and spun it again and again.
She spun it back and forth dozens of times.
Suddenly, the window on the side of the Confucian Hall was carefully opened.
Tang Si was very sensitive to subtle sounds because she had been wandering around the snowy mountains and forests all year round. As soon as she heard the sound, she knew that it was not the wind that opened the window. Someone had secretly opened the window. It was either the act of a thief or someone with a purpose.
She did not rush over immediately. Instead, her eyes secretly looked in that direction.
She saw three pairs of round eyes peering in through the window.
They were Lin Shu and his two classmates.
What a reckless fellow!
Lin Shu was holding a black bag in his hand. There was an unknown object wriggling inside.
He was about to throw the bag into the Confucian Hall when the person next to him pulled him and said softly, "Lin Shu, let's forget it. What if someone dies?"
"What are you afraid of? What can happen? This snake is domesticated and doesn't bite. "
"If Teacher knew …"
"Why are you so useless? That wild girl made us like this. We must vent our anger. If you're afraid, get out."
He shook off the person's hand.
Then —
He stuck the black bag in his hand into the window, pinched one corner, and buckled it.
Three or four slender, wriggling snakes fell to the ground from inside!
The soft, slippery, slender body first twisted into a ball, then slowly spread out, slowly slipping towards Tang Si's direction.
Lin Shu smiled sinisterly, "See if I don't teach you a lesson this time."
Thus, the three of them squatted at the foot of the wall, waiting for the loud screams to come from inside.
Little did they know that Tang Si had already seen this scene. She had also seen Lin Shu letting the snakes in. She had been walking in the forests and snowy mountains all year round and had seen countless ferocious beasts. It was just a few snakes. Not to mention touching them, she could even grab them and cut their stomachs open.
